By the Quran, full of Wisdom
3
Truly, (O Prophet!), you are one of the messengers,
5
It is a Revelation (disclosed and) sent down by (Allah), the Supreme in Strength (Al-Aziz), Most Merciful (Ar-Raheem);
6
In order that you may warn a people, whose fore-fathers did not receive the warning and (those) who therefore remain unaware (of the Signs of Allah).
7
Indeed, the Word (Punishment of Allah) is proved true against the greater part (or most) of them: Still, they do not believe,
8
Verily, We have put clamps (tightly) round their necks high up to their chins, so that their heads are forced up (and they cannot see).
9
And We have put a barrier in front of them and a barrier behind them, and also, We have covered them up (in their disbelief); So that they cannot see.
10
It is the same to them whether you warn them or you do not warn them: They will not believe.
11
You can only warn such (a person) who follows the Reminder (the Warning in the Quran) and fears (Allah) Most Gracious (Rahmán), Unseen (Bi'l-Ghiab): Therefore, give such (a person), good news of Forgiveness and of most kind (generous) Reward.
12
Surely, We shall give life to the dead, and We record what they send before (Judgment) and that which they leave behind (in life), and We have taken record of all things in a book (of evidence).
13
And put forward to them (and tell them), by way of a story (with a warning), about the companions of the City (which was destroyed). When the messengers (of Allah) have come to it.
14
When We sent two (messengers) to them, they rejected them both: So, We strengthened them (the two) with a third: They (the three messengers) said, "Truly, we have been sent as messengers to you."
15
The (people) said: "You are only beings like ourselves; And (Allah) the Most Gracious (Ar-Rahmán) sends nothing to be made known (or disclosed): You do nothing but lie."
16
They (the three messengers) said: "Our Lord does know that we have been sent on a mission to you:
17
And our duty is only to tell (you) the clear message.
18
The (people) said: "About us, we see an evil sign from you: If you do not stop, we will surely stone you, and a truly painful punishment will be given to you by us."
19
They (the prophets) said: "Your evil signs are with yourselves: (Consider this to be an early sign), that you are warned. No, but you are a people exceeding all limits!"
20
Then from a far part of the City, came running, a man saying, "O my People! Obey the messengers (of Allah):
21
Obey those who do not ask any reward from you and (those) who have themselves received (Allah's) Guidance.
22
It is not reasonable for me if I did not serve Him Who created me, and to Whom you shall (all) be brought back.
23
Shall I take (other) gods besides Him? If (Allah, Ar-Rahmán) Most Gracious should have some misfortune for me, their pleading for me will not be of any use and they cannot set me free.
24
If I do so, truly I will be (making) a clear mistake.
25
For me, I have faith in the Lord of you (all): Then, listen to me!
26
It was said: "You enter the Garden." He said: "O me! If only my people knew (what I know)!
27
That my Lord has given me Forgiveness and has given me (a place) among those held in honor!
28
And We did not send down any army from heaven against his people, after him. And it was not necessary for Us to do that.
29
It was not more than a single Mighty Blast (A powerful explosion), and look! They were (like ashes) put out (quiet) and silent.
30
Ah! Sorrow on the part (My) servants! There has not come one messenger (of Allah) to them that they have not made fun of him!
